I would hardly call this a film. It is at best a book on tape. While the topic is very important and interesting, the filmmakers involved show very little respect. The entire video consists of about three shots, mundanely cut together in order to tell this woman's incredible story. I think this is probably the worst documentary I've ever seen. I've never seen such a shameless attempt by a director to capitalize off of an important historical figure. There was hardly any work put into this video. All they did was tape one (maybe two) sessions with Junge, slap some titles on it and call it a film. Not to mention the filmmakers also try to take credit by calling it the first time Junge went on record, when in reality she gave a much better account, on record, in the 1970's! It comes off as being very boring and lifeless, when the story itself is amazing. I call it, at best, lazy and shameful filmmaking. Would have been much better if it was a book.
